jeninpa Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 These things are really neat but FYI you do have to keep these running for like 3 days nonstop to polish a rock,lol. Great deal though!!
alimfp Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 I had one of these when I was little. I LOVED it!!
Guest ashbyyokosuka Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 i am glad someone else mentioned that--i was GOING to buy one for my 8 1/2 yr old (MUCH higher price) but i read that they had to keep running and people ended up putting them in their garage... and then they didn't work so well--even then. so i passed. we will just have to buy the rocks in the bags
duckbrain Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Got this to fill my cart when I ordered the ariel guitar...Fun lil project gift for both of my kids...thanks!
Kandy Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 my ds had one and loves it..got it last year... 3 days.. ha we had it going for about 10 total days. You have 3 to 4 steps depending on the stone. Each step is 3-4 days long. We have no garage. We put it in the spare bedroom and shut the door But to DS was all worth it.
KuponKlipper Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Does this take batteries ? Or do you plug it in ?
ButterBee Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Had one when I was kid. Also had pet rock and mood ring. Anybody remember those? LOL I'm showing my age
Princessarky Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 thanx not a clue what it runs on but for 9.99 I gotta get one lol
Kandy Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 The one we have you have to plug in...but ours is from the discovery store
eew92 Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 I'm sure we will use it like once :) but my ds really wants one...............so for $9.99 and free shipping I ordered one.
First Lady Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 I had bought one for my kids, but read the instructions and it said it would take up to 2 weeks to polish the stones! That doesn't seem very fun for kids who are waiting to see if their dirty playground rock would turn into a pretty gold rock. So I returned it!
KitaKaT Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 3 days? 10 days? ACCCKKK!!! Yes, I remember mood rings, they still sell those. As for the pet rock, well... if I admit to owning one, wouldn't that implicate me in the age area? ~smirk~ LOL Nope... don't even go there!
Kara1204 Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 3 days? 10 days? 2 weeks? Ha! Try 30 days. I have professional tumblers in 3 sizes. There are 4 steps, each needing to be run for 7 days. Then, at the end of the 30 days, you MIGHT have to run a burnishing step for 2-3 more days. This is NOT the hobby for the impatient. This little tumbler is basically plastic junk. OK for 10 bucks, I guess. But, I would not expect it to last long...........
rimshot Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 We got one for DD it truly is a disappointment. It does take forever plus a day and does a poor job.
